------------- Moving Movies ------------- EIFF Industry Event
Moving Movies: Film & Wireless Networks Friday, 22 August, 10am Point Conference Centre, Bread Street, Edinburgh
There has never been a better time for film-makers to unleash the potential of wireless technologies and mobile networks. With new mobile phone technologies, the delivery of one-to-one and one-to-many broadcasts becomes possible. Wi-Fi lets you see a movie in a cafe on your laptop or PDA, and the new camera phones enable you to make and send your own short films.
Will we be watching movies on the go, instead of at home or in the cinema? What are the potentials and constraints of working with these technologies? Who is making films for wireless? How do you tell a story? Who is the audience? What are the business models? These and other questions will be by tackled our panel:
- Fee Plumley, the-phone-book Ltd - Philippa MacLennan, Orange - Morgan Petrie, Scottish Screen - Chris Byrne, New Media Scotland
Who should attend this session? Film-makers, animators, content creators. Format: short presentations by each speaker, followed by a panel discussion.
This event organised by New Media Scotland, enabling cultural activity shaped by new technologies.
N.B.: To gain entry to EIFF Industry Events normally you will need to have a delegate or guest pass.
